In 1936, Mike Dezagiacomo, then 23, bought the restaurant and candy store from Mr. Vihos, a Greek man, and would continue to run the business until December 1962 when the restaurant closed. It was a different day then, Betty, one of their youngest daughters remembers. It was a great gathering spot for the youth in town and a popular spot for former teachers like Matt Breski who used to talk about his days at the restaurant to his class. New immigrants to the town even came to the restaurant to help them learn a little English. Vihos Sweets sold more than just the sweets but was a full-fledged restaurant. It stood where Shoppers Drugmart stands today on Commercial Street.
